Over 100 people attended a free talk about energy in waves at the Fort George Brewery in Astoria. A Columbia River bar pilot described wave signals permitting safe navigation; a PA cardiologist taught us to measure a blood-borne wave relevant to health; and an OHSU graduate student explored brain waves underlying conscious experience. This presentation began a week of school visits in Knappa and Astoria. We crafted brain cells\, examined brains\, and discussed diverse topics of local interest\, including sleep\, psychedelics\, fentanyl\, elk behavior\, ADHD\, anxiety\, depression\, autism\, forest bathing\, alcohol\, epigenetic impacts of trauma\, education/career pathways in neuroscience and the development of adolescent brains. Join us to make brain cells and learn more! \n \nLearn more about our Oregon collaboration with TRIO at these links! \nPre-K\, Fish and Logger Lobes!\n \nSignal from Noise on the Oregon Coast\n \nPRESENTATION SLIDES (pdf): Noggin at NAEOP 10_2023

Research finds that curricula which include stories result in greater comprehension of material\, longer retention of information\, and a stronger personal connection between teller and listener. Similarly\, music\, rhythm and art-making also contribute to academic achievement\, retention and brain development\, while fostering a stronger sense of community. \n \nWe’ve collaborated successfully with Siletz Valley School on interdisciplinary neuroscience outreach projects in the past\, visiting classrooms to discuss the neuroscience of storytelling and song thanks to a 2018 grant from the Spirit Mountain Community Fund. \n \nLEARN MORE: Until the story takes shape \nLEARN MORE: Joanne Trzcinski on Synapses\, Stories & Song! \nWe recently delivered 25 “woodpecker red” 3D printed brains to Siletz teachers and staff. Woodpeckers are important in Siletz culture and we partnered with Shashi Jain at Intel and the Portland 3D Printing Lab to provide customized teaching tools that are compelling and relevant. \n \nThese visits and donations have had significant\, lasting impact; according to a science teacher at Siletz\, students advocated for opportunities to hear and play more music\, they are more aware of changing circadian cycles in adolescence\, and more understanding of diverse developmental experiences and how they are not alone in facing challenges. \n \nWith support from the Roundhouse Foundation\, the Portland Alcohol Research Center at OHSU and Siletz Valley School\, we’ll bring graduate students and undergraduates studying neuroscience from Portland State University\, Oregon Health & Science University and the University of Oregon back into Siletz classrooms in spring of 2023. We will also bring brain specimens (animal and human) and art projects developed in consultation with teachers at Siletz. \n \nLEARN MORE: Mountain Beaver\, Boomer\, Sewellel \n \nBefore our visit\, we’ll contribute to lesson plans focusing on culturally significant animals\, including Salmon\, Woodpecker\, Eel\, Elk\, Deer\, Dragonfly\, Porcupine\, Bear\, Cougar\, Octopus\, Raccoon and Coyote – and the local Boomer!  –  and the community and brain benefits of drumming and music\, integrated with the new Siletz Tribal History/Shared History curriculum. During the visit\, we’ll tell stories\, examine brains\, make art and discuss student questions over a three day period. \n \n \nCOMMITTED VOLUNTEERS\n1. Bill Griesar\, PSU/OHSU/NW Noggin\n2.

SUMMARY:How Brains Create Meaning through Art and Narrative
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: How Brains Create Meaning through Art and Narrative presentation \nWe did it!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nWHERE: Paragon Gallery\, 815 N Killingsworth St\, Portland\, OR 97217 \nWHEN: Saturday\, May 20\, 2:00 – 4:00pm \n \nJoin Jeff Leake and his colleague Neuroscientist Dr. Bill Griesar for a NWNoggin workshop “How Brains Create Meaning through Art and Narrative\,” Saturday\, May 20\, 2023\, 2 – 4 pm. Our focus is on narrative and art and how they create the stories (and the brains!) that make us who we are.  \n \nWhat is a narrative? What is a story? What is a schema\, or a frame of reference\, or set of expectations\, predictions\, emotions and biases based on our individual experiences? \n \nWhere does it come from? How do these personal experiences shape our brains\, including what we remember\, what we attend to (and what we ignore)\, and how we react? How might this change\, and what do we discover through making and viewing art? Where in the brain does all this happen? \n \nA presentation on the neuroscience of how our brains create meaning through narrative will be followed by hands-on art activities and brain specimens to observe. \n \nCOMMITTED PARTICIPANTS\n1.

SfN JUST MOVED our poster to Saturday morning (5/13). Sorry for any confusion! \n \nPlease join us at 9:30am & cheers! \n  \nNW Noggin POSTER Abstract\nSharing interdisciplinary neuroscience paywall-free at SfN\nGRIESAR\, W.S.* ** *** ****\, LEAKE\, J.* ** *** \n* Department of Psychology\, Portland State University; ** NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org); *** Department of University Studies\, Portland State University; **** Department of Behavioral Neuroscience\, Oregon Health & Science University \n \nNonprofit NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org) organizes collaboration and community around interdisciplinary neuroscience. Undergraduates\, graduate students and artists inspired by brain research join us in public schools\, correctional facilities\, houseless youth centers and more to hear what people already know and want to know\, and see where lab and classroom discoveries can contribute. We’ve met 65\,000 people since 2012! \nThe last time we traveled to San Diego for the Society for Neuroscience conference\, we gave the 2018 keynote address on brain awareness\, and joined a panel on outreach. Representatives of resource-rich institutions described well-staffed offices\, paywalled conferences\, expert-judged Brain Bees and annual Brain Fairs. \nIn contrast\, we introduced over 70 all-volunteer\, paywall-free visits we’d made to community spaces that don’t often get exposure to neuroscience\, bringing specimens and art projects\, and centering the questions\, stories\, knowledge and interests of those we met. \nWe invited everyone to join us in K-12 classrooms\, where we’d arranged with San Diego Unified district staff and teachers for two days of direct public engagement over neuroscience and art! \nWe are fascinated by the money spent by government and private foundations aimed at increasing diversity\, equity\, inclusion and interdisciplinary approaches to “brain awareness” in education and research\, much of which flows to the same privileged universities\, private schools and institutions receiving funding in the past. \nThat is not our approach\, so while we miss big structurally segregated dollars\, we enjoy the privilege of going places and hearing directly from those not currently overrepresented in neuroscience\, both inspiring and being inspired by questions\, insights and art. \nDuring the 2022 Society for Neuroscience conference in San Diego\, we not only presented original posters\, caught up with colleagues and walked the cavernous convention halls\, but also joyously re-connected with district staff and teachers\, organizing two additional days of engagement in local schools! \nWe met over 500 students at Webster and Freese elementary schools\, examining brains we’d driven 1000 miles from Portland\, Oregon\, discussed new research and made art. We also met people passing by The Brain Observatory\, a striking laboratory and exhibition space founded by Dr. Jacobo Annese\, who dissected the brain of amnesia Patient H.M. \nBuilding awareness of discoveries\, educational options and careers through outreach engaging those not served by institutional “brain awareness” funding trains scientists to collaborate\, reaches more people\, and increases support for investment in research and art. \nDOWNLOAD PDF: SFN poster 2023 \nBrains Beyond SfN\n \nObserving Art & Brains @ SfN\n \nWe’re also thrilled to introduce the abstract submitted by Tara Subramaniam\, a Portland high school student who helped establish the Oregon Youth Neuroscience Conference\, which we attended last fall! Tara will be at the Chapter Meeting too\, presenting Friday (5/12) @ 3:45pm. \nPromoting Neuroscience Among Youth: The Oregon Youth Neuroscience Conferences\nT. SUBRAMANIAM \nNeuroscience is a field applicable to the lives of all students\, regardless of their intended field. However\, there is little awareness of the vast possibilities in the neuroscience field among youth. In Oregon middle and high schools\, the incorporation of neuroscience into school curricula is a rarity. Additionally\, it is difficult for young students to hear from neuroscientists to gain deeper insights of the field (Myslinski\, 2022). This paper details the process of creating the Oregon Youth Neuroscience Conferences—a program for students\, led by students—to broaden access to neuroscience education among local middle and high schools. \nFor each conference\, a theme was set that would be compelling to youth\, such as “Neurotechnology” and “The Brain and Aging.” Then\, conferences were held at local high schools\, where the venues were free. Professors in fields related to each theme from the University of Oregon and Oregon Health and Science University were invited to present about the background of their specialized field\, career path\, and research. After their presentations\, a Q&A session was held for students to engage with speakers. Presentation topics ranged from alcohol’s effects on the teenage brain\, research on Alzheimer’s disease\, and nanotechnology in neuroscience research. When it was difficult to find speakers\, organizations such as the Oregon Geriatric Association and Oregon Alzheimer’s Association directed us to interested neuroscientists. After the first conference\, feedback from students suggested that more interactive activities would improve the experience. \nWhen the nonprofit\, NW Noggin\, brought a team of volunteers with cadaver brains and neuroscience-themed art projects that students could learn brain anatomy from\, student engagement drastically improved. \nSocial media campaigns\, science teachers\, school newsletters\, and flyers across the state publicized the event\, resulting in attendees from fifteen schools. Through the program’s website\, organizers could predict attendance and effective publication methods. At the end of the conference\, a social session was designated for students to socialize over their shared interests. Ultimately\, the conferences provided students with an insight into the excitement in the field of neuroscience\, as well as their own minds. \n\nNeuroscience for Oregon Youth!

From one of the teachers\, Ms. Christine Quinn: “Students have worked on learning the major parts of the brain though focusing on the amygdala\, hippocampus\, and the prefrontal cortex. We talk a lot about how the amygdala and prefrontal cortex interact. Students know that when emotions are strong\, the amygdala takes over and the prefrontal cortex can’t function properly. They have learned several ways to try and keep their amygdala “calm” so they can learn and function at school. I honestly think that anything you tell them about the brain will pique their interest.

In addition to facilitating cross-cultural communication\, this trend also positively affects cognitive abilities. Researchers have shown that the bilingual brain can have better attention and task-switching capacities than the monolingual brain\, thanks to its developed ability to inhibit one language while using another. In addition\, bilingualism has positive effects at both ends of the age spectrum: Bilingual children as young as seven months can better adjust to environmental changes\, while bilingual seniors can experience less cognitive decline.” \nLEARN MORE: The Cognitive Benefits of Being Bilingual \n \nCOMMITTED PARTICIPANTS\n1.

SUMMARY:Nostalgia & Brains in Eugene (by Zoom!)
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Online visit with 8th graders at Kennedy Middle School \nWe did it!\n \n“Thank you so much for donating your time today to talk to my journalism students. It was a great conversation. (Sorry for the delay at the beginning of class!) It’s so important for students to hear from adults about topics they’re interested in. One thing they walked away with from this conversation with is just the variety of professions and things to study that are out there waiting to be studied.  \nWe’ll be sending you a thank you card\, but I didn’t want to let too much time pass without making sure you knew how much we appreciated your generosity today. Thanks again!” \n– Sarah Case\, Language Arts and Social Studies Teacher\, Kennedy Middle School \nWHERE: ZOOM @ Kennedy Middle School\, Eugene\, OR 97405 (link coming) \nWHEN: Friday\, March 10\, 2023\, 9:00am – 9:50am \n \nFrom Language Arts and Social Studies Teacher Sarah Case: \n“I teach an 8th grade journalism elective class at Kennedy Middle School in Eugene. My students have chosen topics of interest that they’re investigating. A topic of interest to one of my students is understanding more about nostalgia.” \nWhy does nostalgia affect people?\nWhat goes on in your brain when you feel nostalgia?\nDoes everyone feel nostalgia? \n \nWe’ll meet with Sarah’s 8th grade students by Zoom to consider their questions on nostalgia and our brain!

SUMMARY:Noggin @ Sunnyside!
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: NW Noggin @ Sunnyside Environmental School \nWe did it!!!\nLearning through mistakes!\n \n \n \n \nWHERE: Sunnyside Environmental School\, 3421 SE Salmon St\, Portland\, OR 97214 \nWHEN: Friday\, January 20\, 9:30am – 12:30pm  \nContacts: Asa Gervich & Jeremy Thomas\, 4th Grade Teachers\, Sunnyside School \n \nBrains and Skills:\nLearning through Mistakes!\nBrains are constantly changing\, depending on what you do\, and what happens to you when you do it. \n \nYour brain is a mass of interconnected wires\, made up of cells\, that let you see\, hear\, feel\, think and move. When you’re born you have about 200 billion brain cells called neurons\, and another 200 billion cells called glia\, that reach out worm-like projections and form connections  –  known as synapses  –  with each other. This process is ACTIVE\, takes energy (food and air) and requires light\, sound\, touch\, muscle movements and other forms of experience. \n \nIt also kills a lot of your cells! In fact\, by the time you’re done with high school\, you’ll have only HALF as many neurons and glia left in your brain! But the ones that remain will be wired up into adult networks that properly route information from your eyes\, ears and body to your brain for perception\, cognition\, and decision making  –  and from your brain out to your muscles to let you move well and act. \n \n4th grade teacher Asa Gervich demonstrates his skill on the drums! \nSometimes  –  like when you’re learning something new  –  you have to think hard about how you’ll move\, and you’ll naturally make a lot of errors. But each error\, each mistake\, is important feedback for your neurons and glia\, which respond by physically changing how they connect. Your brain’s wiring changes\, you get more skilled\, and you’ll require less hard thinking and effort to play the guitar\, make a basket\, give a speech\, ride a bicycle\, drum! \n \nThere is a LOT of new research pointing to the importance of the cerebellum  –  our little brain  –  in so much of what we do implicitly;  that is\, automatically and with ease and skill. And other deep areas of our brains\, including the basal ganglia (a set of subcortical\, “below the cortex” nuclei)  –  along with the cerebellum  –  also let us carry out these skilled\, implicit\, “feel the force” type behaviors. \n \nWe’ll join students to consider what skills and abilities we already have or are developing\, and what it takes to re-wire frontal lobe\, cerebellar and subcortical networks to make this happen (HINT: it takes practice\, practice\, practice  –  and learning from mistakes :). \n \n \nRead for background\nIt’s Just Like Riding a Bike…Except It’s Not!\n \nCOMMITTED PARTICIPANTS\n1.

Roman Cimkovich\, PSU \n \nFROM NOGGIN VOLUNTEER KRISTIN PRESTON (PSU): \n \n“It was wonderful to see the raw enthusiasm and excitement today at Sunnyside! The two fourth grade classes had so many intuitive questions including\, why we do not understand the thoughts in our brains even though we are aware of our thoughts\, and if a brain was transplanted\, would the recipient gain a new brain or a new body?  Such philosophers are ten-year-olds! \nWe also discussed the development of neural pathways in the brain by revealing what happens as we improve at a skill we are learning. We discovered too through Asa’s demonstration on jazz playing\, a mistake can simply be a new note in the song. Like walking through a field of tall grass\, the more we do a thing\, the more fortified the pathway becomes\, and through making mistakes\, we learn and improve all the more!” \nFROM NOGGIN VOLUNTEER ASHA POWELL-STORMBERG (PSU): \n \n“Working at the station with different animal brains was super fun. The kids were all so shocked at the size differences and thought that the brain size was correlated with the intelligence. It was fun to point out the brains with more grooves (surface area) had more intelligence then those with brains with less surface area. \nI also thought it was interesting that both groups of kids wanted to know why we have headaches. It is hard to believe that a 10 year old would be suffering from headaches but I thought it was a great question. Can’t wait for the next teaching experience.” \nFROM JEREMY THOMAS\, 4th GRADE TEACHER \n \n“…the report I got from folks was that it was AWESOME as usual. One of my volunteers said it was the most focused my class has ever been! Thanks so much!” \n

SUMMARY:NOGGIN TALK: Neurobiology and Darkroom Photography: Schizophrenia Through Multiple Lenses
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Neurobiology and Darkroom Photography: Looking at Schizophrenia Through Multiple Lenses\, a talk by Cassie Ferguson\, MFA and Michelle Kielhold\, Ph.D. candidate at OHSU \n \nThey did it!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nWHERE: Honey Latte Cafe\, 1033 SE Main St\, Portland\, OR 97214 \n \nWHEN: Wednesday\, December 7\, 2022; 6:00pm – 9:00pm (talk starts @ 7:00pm) \n \nTake a closer look at the neurobiology of schizophrenia through multiple lenses – literally! Michelle and Cassie draw from their respective practices to highlight the similarities between scientific and artistic experimentation. Discover the importance of collaboration as they discuss common threads between their unique perspectives. \nMichelle Kielhold is a PhD candidate at Oregon Health & Science University under the mentorship of Dr. Bita Moghaddam. Her dissertation work focuses on a gene that has been identified as a potential risk factor in individuals with schizophrenia. By utilizing CRISPR technology to alter gene expression\, she hopes to better understand how variants of this gene can affect behaviour and brain function. \nCassie Ferguson is a Portland-based printmaker and film photographer who received her B.S. in Biology with a Minor in Art from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa\, and her MFA in Print Media from Pacific Northwest College of Art at Willamette University. In her art practice\, she draws from her experience as a skateboarder\, and uses lithographs and photogravure etchings to document and showcase various aspects of skate culture.

Integrating the arts\, including painting and music in STEM (STEAM) fosters interdisciplinary engagement\, and draws in more people not currently overrepresented in the academic study of neuroscience. \n \nNonprofit NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org) organizes undergraduates and graduates to collaborate\, build community networks and inspire people about neuroscience and art. We bring diverse students excited by research and their own arts-integrated study of the brain and behavior into K-12 public schools\, correctional facilities\, Congress\, houseless youth centers\, coffee shops and pubs to hear to what people already know and what they’d like to know\, and to see where our stories and discoveries from labs and classrooms intersect. We’ve talked with over 55\,000 people since 2012! \n \nNW Noggin is volunteer and free. Many science organizations in the Northwest are paywalled\, and require you to come to them\, excluding many\, and largely serving those with existing resources and privilege. Yet despite minimal budgets\, we successfully raised funds to bring accomplished outreach participants to SfN conferences to present posters and visit K-12 students in Chicago\, San Diego and Washington DC public schools. \n \nIn 2017\, through the efforts of undergraduate members of the Portland State University Neuroscience Club\, we presented our first NogginFest\, a free public celebration of music\, art\, research and brains! We offered live bands\, an art auction\, brain specimens\, art activities and research speakers at the Alberta Rose Theater in Portland Oregon\, and raised money to transport\, house and feed 15 undergraduates at the SfN conference in Washington DC. Our students presented posters and met with 700 students in Turner Elementary School. \n \nWe presented NogginFest again in 2018 and 2019\, with more live musicians\, artists and neuroscience researchers\, funding more student participation at SfN. \nNoggin Fest 2018: The Beauty of the Brain\nNoggins & Noodles @ SfN!\n \nNOGGINFEST 2019!!!!\n \nIn 2020 we paused as the coronavirus pandemic took hold\, but pivoted to a well-attended virtual NogginFest\, supported by a brain awareness grant from the Dana Foundation in 2021. \nNogginFest 2021: Threshold Potential!\n \nIn 2022\, with support from the Dana Foundation\, we returned to an in person NogginFest. The venue (Honey Latte Café) was donated\, and the event brought out over 500 Portland residents who enjoyed music\, held brains\, asked questions\, made art\, heard about research and connected with each other from 2pm until midnight! \nNogginFest 2022: A Mid-Pandemic Revival!\n \nNogginFest is the largest student-run\, free\, all ages celebration of brains\, art and music in the Pacific Northwest\, enthusing and informing a diverse public about discoveries in neuroscience. \nLEARN MORE: NOGGINFEST! \n \nPSU Neuroscience Club Poster\n \nPOSTER: SfN22_Bolen_Ben_PDF \n \n \nCLICK HERE: VIRTUAL POSTER
